How involved to support Meteor on Windows? #32

Open scunnin opened 6 years ago

scunnin commented 6 years ago

I see where it says in the readme that only OSX and Linux are supported for the server right now. Any idea how hard it would be to work with Meteor running on Windows Server? I'm sure I'll eventually be using NGINX, but for now, the meteor app is running right in Windows. This would be a great tool to use during a design phase like the one I'm in now. I expect that there probably aren't any plans to build-in support for Windows (being a somewhat uncommon environment for Meteor deployment), but is it something straight-forward enough where suggested modifications could be shared here? Or is it more involved and time-consuming than that?

I think the only significant barrier is replacing the use of grep and find:

It's possible everything else would just work as-is.

Ok, I'll give that a try. Thanks for the assistance. (I'm assuming you listed line 69 accidentally and instead meant lines 71-72 ..?)

Yeah, I just meant that whole area of the code.

It would be super awesome if you are able to get this working!
